Chapter 783 I Won’t Do Business at a Loss

Chen Shun smiled bitterly, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Speaking of which, this shop is exactly what you want, Miss Qiao, in terms of both location and size. It's a century-old shop with a booming business. What a pity! Alas!"

Seeing that he was only sighing, Shopkeeper Chen couldn't help but stepped forward and gave him a slap on the face, impatiently urging him:

"What are you hesitating about? What's going on? Tell me now! You're wasting Miss Qiao's time by dawdling. You're asking for a fight!"

Chen Shun covered his red head and smiled:

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you right now! Uncle, don't hit me!"

He looked around, and nervously pulled the two into a cubicle to discuss matters. He straightened his expression and said seriously:

"That shop is a century-old pastry shop, Wuweizhai, which is as famous as Yipinxuan. The shopkeeper's surname is Liu. This shop was passed down from our ancestors. It was originally very prosperous and became one of the best pastry shops in the capital."

"Unfortunately, his shop was recently spotted by Prince Ping, who forced him to sell it at a low price. Shopkeeper Liu really had no choice but to find a buyer who was not afraid of Prince Ping's power to buy his shop."

"Shopkeeper Liu said that he just couldn't swallow this humiliation and would rather sell it to someone else at a lower price than let King Ping get away with it. But in the capital, or even in the entire Great Yue Kingdom, how many people dare to compete with King Ping for the shop?"

"These days, several buyers have shown interest in Manager Liu's shop, but when they heard the reason why Manager Liu wanted to sell the shop, they all shook their heads and didn't even dare to look at the shop. The price has been lowered again and again, and it is already lower than the price offered by King Ping, but still no one is buying."

"Tomorrow is the deadline given by Prince Ping. Shopkeeper Liu said that if no one buys the shop, he would rather hang himself in the shop and turn into a ghost to protect his shop. He would rather let the shop go bankrupt than let Prince Ping have an easy life! Alas!"

After Chen Shun finished speaking, he sighed again.

When the rabbit dies, the fox mourns. As ordinary people who run shops, Chen Shun, the owner of a pawn shop, feels sympathy for the common people who have no strong backing and may be bullied and exploited by the powerful at any time.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen couldn't help but sigh and secretly feel fortunate.

Fortunately, the owner of Juxianlou is the prince of Dingbei, and no one in the capital dares to offend him, so he can be at ease as the shopkeeper.

After hearing this, Qiao Ran also sighed in her heart.

In this evil feudal society, imperial power and official power are supreme, and ordinary people have no power to resist those in power.

The same thing happened to Huang Laogen's family, and also to Master Sun and his students. Just because they accidentally offended high-ranking officials, their families were destroyed.

And he almost had his entire family and even his village wiped out. In this world, if you don't have power, you will be beaten.

Qiao Ran has made up her mind that her wish to live a simple life will not change, but the prerequisite is that she must first have a powerful position that can protect the safety of her family.

She must attend the Medical Saint Conference next month and must obtain the Medical Saint Order.

Being able to command all the famous doctors and miraculous physicians in Dai Viet and even in several neighboring major countries is such power that even the emperor of a country would not dare to offend easily, otherwise he would be going against all the famous doctors and miraculous physicians, which would definitely not end well.

Having made up her mind secretly, Qiao Ran said to Chen Shun:

"I'm very interested in that shop. Could you please take me to have a look?"

Chen Shun was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he asked with some concern:

"Miss Qiao, would you like to reconsider this? After all, if you buy that shop, you are going against King Ping. What if he comes to cause trouble for you?"

Shopkeeper Chen also looked at Qiao Ran with some concern, wanting to persuade her not to go against King Ping, but at the same time hoping that she could help the poor Shopkeeper Liu.

Miss Qiao is so powerful, and she has the support of the General's Mansion and the Dingbei Palace. She should not be afraid of King Ping, right?

Qiao Ran saw their worries and smiled:

"It's okay. I'll just take a look. Whether I buy it or not is another matter. If I really like it, I'll buy it. As for King Ping, if he wants to buy the shop from me, that's fine, but I won't do business at a loss."

I have already plundered so much gold, silver and treasures from King Ping. If he comes to rob my shop, I will just give it to him. I am just afraid that he will not come!

How could I miss such a good opportunity to hold something against King Ping?

It would be fine if he doesn't come to provoke me, but if he dares to come, this time I will make sure that he won't even be able to be a leisurely prince!
